And lastly, we have an easy-to-complete form, which will allow us to determine if you have a case. "I felt I needed legal assistance and had already visited two attorneys. Both told me I did not have a case. However, I visited Lewis & McAtee, P.C. to get their opinion. After some research, they determined that I did have a case, and I could not have been happier. They treated me as an individual, not just a client. They focused on what my family's needs were at the time. They were very concerned, not only for my future, but also for my wife and newborn son. The firm definitely went the extra mile, while the other two firms gave up before they even started. I was so pleased with the outcome. I have referred Lewis & McAtee, P.C. several times since, and would not hesitate to do so in the future." Mike Wilkerson I would like to thank Jon Lewis and his firm for their help in settling our dispute. We had tried to reasonably deal with the party with which we had a dispute with very little success. We spent a lot of our own time trying to get this company to fix our problems. We had excellent documentation and had been very reasonable with our request for a solution. We were put off for several months. We finally reached a point where the company refused to take any further action to resolve our complaints. I found Mr. Lewis' firm while doing an internet search for information on our problem. From the very first talk with Mr. Lewis I felt confident that he could help us with our situation. It was reassuring to us that Jon would personally and promptly return our phone calls when questions arose. After months of frustration trying to deal with this corporation ourselves, Mr. Lewis was able to get the matter settled promptly and to our great satisfaction. Valorie and Bruce Hilbun "A few months ago, I was walking through a haunted house with several family members and I tripped on something that was in the middle of the floor. I suffered an injury and asked them to help with my medical bills. I tried to contact the responsible parties, but no one would return my calls. A friend referred the attorneys at Lewis & McAtee, P.C. I could not have been happier. There was always open communication, they were always available for me to get in touch with them-and the settlement was exactly what I requested. There are times when you need someone to speak for you, to represent, your interests and your concerns. For those times, I highly recommend the law firm of Lewis & McAtee, P.C." Clara C. Zeigler I used Lewis & McAtee, P.C. attorneys twice. My car was hit and I needed legal representation to help pay for my injuries and for the repairs to the car. I was more than a little nervous because this was the first time I've used an attorney. But the attorneys for Lewis & McAtee, P.C. made me feel extremely comfortable. They took the time to listen to me, and treated me with respect. They were forceful, and I received what I needed to repair my car, plus compensation for my injuries. Another time was a dispute with Wal-Mart. I had purchased a toy for my grandchild, and they were supposed to put it together. Not only did they not put it together, they questioned whether I bought it. After Jon filed a lawsuit, they paid my 10 times what the toy cost. If any of may family or friends needs an attorney, I always send them to Lewis & McAtee, P.C. Elizabeth Billips I purchased an automobile from a Ford dealership and was having constant problems. I brought it in several times, but the service department would not repair my car. I called Lewis & McAtee, P.C. and asked them to help me. After one call, Jon immediately contacted them. While the case was ongoing, I would call Jon and he would always talk to me and keep my updated on the progress. Ultimately, I could not have been happier. I would certainly go to Jon for other problems, and I am happy to send him clients as well I was treated fairly and Jon made me fill like a real person, not just a case number. When you're having legal problems, you want someone that will take care of you and someone who genuinely cares about your welfare. My thanks go to Jon Lewis, and I wish him well. Amy Reaves I had an automobile that had a defect in the alignment of the glass. The dealership worked on it on five different occasions, but couldn't fix it. They wanted to send it to an outside company to fix it, but the car manufacturer would not honor the warranty if they did that. I searched the internet and found Jon. A few days after our initial meeting, he sent a letter to the manufacturer. It took some time for them to respond, and Jon was not happy with their offer. We then proceeded to their informal arbitration, and on was not happy with that either, so he filed a lawsuit. He kept after them until we received the settlement he wanted. I ended up with a totally new car. I was also involved in a car accident, and Jon handled my personal injury case. I was also very happy with the result of that, as well. He always made me feel that my case was important. There were a few times when I was thinking about accepting a settlement, but Jon would kept telling me that he thought I should wait until I received one that was more fair. I appreciate all of his hard work, and have already referred him to a friend. Scott Garland I had purchased a truck and began having trouble with it. I tried to contact the dealer and the manufacturer, and was getting nowhere. I contacted Lewis & McAtee, P.C., and once they got involved, I immediately heard from the manufacturer about reaching a settlement. Due to Lewis & McAtee, P.C.'s involvement, I received a full refund for my truck. The attorneys at Lewis & McAtee, P.C. were always there for me. They always kept me informed on the case. They were responsive, informative and knew exactly what to do to settle the case to my complete satisfaction. I would highly recommend them." Joe Towery I recently purchased a Nissan Sentra. Not long after I bought it, I had problems starting the car, and I took it back to the dealership. It took a long time for them to decide what was wrong, and after several attempts, they could never fix it. I wrote a letter to Nissan North America, and did not get a helpful response. I then decided to contact the Better Business Bureau. They sent a letter to Nissan, and got the same type of letter that I received from them. In other words, Nissan wasn’t going to help, and I was on my own. That’s when I decided that I needed an attorney. After researching lemon law on the internet, I found Robert. F. Lewis, P.C. I contacted the firm, and they took my case. Jon Lewis contacted Nissan North America, negotiated with them, and within a short period of time he was able to recover the full amount allowed in a case, such as mine. Jon kept me very well informed during my case. In fact, it was not unusual for him to call me and let me know what was happening before I called him. I would highly recommend Lewis & McAtee, P.C. and Jon Lewis. Dorothy Gladney I was traveling with my mom and niece when I was involved in a serious automobile accident that involved an 18-wheeler. Two attorneys agreed to take my case, but I was not getting any satisfaction from them. They would not return my calls. I never knew what was going on, and they made me feel that they were just sitting on it, and that I was not a priority for them. A friend of my dad’s recommended the law firm of Lewis & McAtee, P.C. From the first time we met, I felt completely comfortable. Jon Lewis took the time to listen to me and agreed to take my case. He kept us updated and informed throughout the entire process. He obviously had handled cases involving 18-wheelers before because we were 100 percent satisfied with the settlement. We were so happy with the outcome that we have already recommended Lewis & McAtee, P.C. to other family members and we would not hesitate to contact him again ourselves. Penny Holloway Some time ago, I was in an automobile accident where a young lady hit me head on. My truck was knocked down a 50-foot ravine. I was in the hospital for 16 days, and in rehab for almost 20 days. There were giant problems with both my and her insurance company, and it became apparent that we were going to need an attorney to intervene. We called Lewis & McAtee, P.C. They continually worked with the insurance companies for over a year, and we received a settlement that we thought was very fair. Both Robert and Jon Lewis were very efficient. They worked hard and we were very pleased with the outcome. We would highly recommend the firm to anyone else. Larry Smith I purchased an automobile that had a myriad of problems. But, due to a technicality, I did not qualify for help under the Alabama Lemon Law. I went on the internet to research the Lemon Law and found a link to Lewis & McAtee, P.C. From that link, I contacted Jon Lewis and explained my problem to him. Jon then contacted General Motors about resolving the problem. He was great in keeping me informed on the progress of my case. The settlement was reached in a much shorter time than I anticipated, which was wonderful. Jon got me a great settlement! I highly recommend Lewis & McAtee, P.C. and if I ever need an attorney again, it will definitely be Jon Lewis. Larry Walters I injured my back at work and I filed a workman’s compensation claim. After six months, the workmen’s comp office decided that I needed surgery to correct my back injury. I submitted the request to a panel in Atlanta, who declined to approve the surgery—after their own doctor had recommended it. Soon after that, I spoke to Jon Lewis. He contacted the Workmen’s Compensation Office. After his discussion with them, they changed their minds and approved the surgery. It never would have happened without Jon’s help. The most important thing about my experience with Lewis & McAtee, P.C. was the great way that Jon stayed in touch with me. He was always available to talk with me, answer questions and keep me apprised of what was going on. I will absolutely call Jon again! Paul Davidson Jon Lewis of Lewis & McAtee, P.C. recently handled a legal matter for me. He gave me realistic expectations from the start. He was attentive to my case and considerate of the stress that I was under during the process. He returned my calls, kept me updated and accomplished the task in a timely and professional manner. What else could anyone ask for? I highly recommend Jon Lewis as the “gold standard” by which other professionals can be judged. Warren Candler I was working for a company and hurt my back. I tried going through worker’s compensation, but they weren’t willing to help me. I found Lewis & McAtee, P.C. on the internet. Jon took my case, but my supervisor told me I didn’t need an attorney, so ended our business relationship. The company did not do anything for me, so I re-hired Jon. It took three years to settle, but Jon worked hard, and I eventually received a very good settlement. I would certainly contact Lewis & McAtee, P.C. again if I needed legal representation. Richard Autry I was driving home from a trip when an automobile rear-ended me going approximately 85 mph. The driver kept going and didn’t stop. The wreck caused me to break my thumb in two places and totaled my van. I contacted Lewis & McAtee, P.C. and they immediately took my case. Jon Lewis contacted both GMAC and my insurance company, which initially refused to take responsibility. After Jon threatened to file suit, they changed their minds, and I received a very good recovery. In fact, I was able to purchase a new truck. Jon kept me informed all through the process, and I really appreciated that. I would not hesitate to refer the attorneys at Lewis & McAtee, P.C. if I knew someone needed legal representation. Brian Ledoux I was involved in a head-on collision. As a result, I dislocated my foot, hand and incurred back injuries. I contacted Lewis & McAtee, P.C. and was very happy with their client service. Jon Lewis was cordial and always let me know what was happening throughout the process. I received a very good settlement and would be happy to use Lewis & McAtee, P.C. again. Marcus Lewis I purchased a 1999 Explorer and immediately heard a knocking noise. After several trips to the dealership, they finally replaced the motor. I, however, continued to hear the noise. The car died approximately one year later, and the dealership said that there was nothing they could do. I found Lewis & McAtee, P.C. over the internet. I contacted them, and they gladly took my case. It went into arbitration, we won on all issues, and I received an award. Jon Lewis was not satisfied, so he appealed, but was unsuccessful. I was very pleased with the award, and Jon’s efforts. He fought hard and went above and beyond the call of duty. We would definitely use him again, and would recommend Lewis & McAtee, P.C. to anyone. Lee and Kimberly Poe I received a personal injury and contacted the attorneys at Lewis & McAtee, P.C. They were very helpful, and I received as much as I could have received, even if my case had gone to trial, within a few months, when other attorneys told me it would take several years to settle the case. They always treated me with respect and would go out of their way to make me feel like I counted and that I was a priority. I would recommend the attorneys of Lewis & McAtee, P.C. to anyone. Lorry Marsh Kathie was a passenger in an automobile when it was struck from behind while stopped at a red light. Her seat belt did not engage, and she hit the windshield so hard that she was taken from the scene by ambulance to the hospital. She had to have surgery to fuse two discs in her neck. As a result, she has permanent damage from the accident. We tried to contact the driver who hit the car and their insurance company, but got stonewalled. We contacted Jon Lewis, who immediately made phone calls to places like hospitals, doctor’s offices, bill collectors and so on. Jon stayed in contact with us, and kept us informed every step of the way. We weren’t getting anywhere until Jon stepped in to help us. We definitely feel we would not have received the same settlement without Jon’s help. We would highly recommend him to anyone who needed legal advice. George and Kathie Bruss I was traveling with my father-in-law on a highway, when two young girls hit us head on. Our truck went off the road, over the side of a mountain and caught fire. I was taken to the Huntsville Trauma Center with extensive injuries. My mother-in-law contacted Lewis & McAtee, P.C. We were kept informed the entire time Jon was pursuing the case. Robert really fought for us, and we received a much larger judgment then we ever dreamed possible. There are many stereotypes about attorneys, but both Robert and his son, Jon, don’t fit any of them. They are truly caring people. I would highly recommend the firm to anyone needing help. Ronettia K. Reeves I recently purchased a truck from a local dealer. It immediately had a lot of problems with it. A friend told me about Lemon Laws and I went on the internet and found Lewis & McAtee, P.C. Jon Lewis contacted Ford Motor Company, and almost immediately got a response that they would pay off the truck. I was amazed at how fast Jon was able to get a settlement from Ford. The whole thing was settled in a few weeks. I would definitely use Jon again, and have already recommended him to two friends who are having problems with their trucks. Don Brasher I was involved in a serious accident when my 18-wheeler was struck by another 18-wheeler. Due to an almost severed right ear, several fractured ribs and my left leg broken in 6 places, I was hospitalized for almost two weeks. I contacted Robert Lewis & McAtee, P.C. and shortly thereafter, Robert immediately visited me. Both Robert and his son Jon made me feel very comfortable about filing a suit. Both of them convinced me that they were only trying to receive a judgment that was fair to me. They took my case and immediately started the process to reach a settlement. There were countless meetings and filings, but Mr. Lewis kept me very well informed at every aspect of the case. We received a wonderful settlement and are extremely pleased.” Lynn & Delores Pettway I found Robert and Jon on the internet. This was the first time I had ever used an attorney. They were so easy to talk to. Over the course of four years we became like family. They helped me with a wrongful death case and talked me through the process step-by-step. We ended up receiving a deal and settling out of court. I am so blessed to have known such wonderful people. I would not hesitate to refer Lewis attorneys' to my friends and family. Janis Sanford I found Jon at Lewis & McAtee, P.C., through a friend who told me about the lemon law. So I went to him in June and received a settlement by November! My car was paid off; they paid Lewis & McAtee, P.C. , and paid me back what I had already spent on the car. Jon worked so hard and fast on my case. I would have to say Jon is a very good lawyer. He knows law and is a very hard worker. He would call me back even if he was not at work. I would definitely use the attorneys at Lewis & McAtee, P.C. again. Lynette Sanford In an effort to help a friend with the expenses of starting up his business, I agreed to purchase a computer from him, using my credit. We signed and he agreed to make all payments. After three payments and no communication with me, he made no attempt to continue his obligation. Since the individual was an attorney, I knew my only options were to secure legal assistance. I went to Lewis & McAtee, P.C. for advice, and Jon Lewis recommended small claims court. After setting a court date, the individual decided to settle out of court. He still did not meet the terms of the settlement, so a lien was put on his home. Shortly thereafter, he offered a settlement less than the debt owed. Jon suggested that I hold out for the entire amount. A few weeks later, I receive a check for more than the original amount. I was thrilled! I thought I this would never be resolved, and I am very happy with the outcome. I would definitely use Lewis & McAtee, P.C. again. Kathy Vircik About five months ago, I had a car accident. An elderly gentleman accidentally pulled out in front of me, and I hit him. The wreck put me in the hospital with a shattered heel. A week later, the man died of natural causes, and I was left to pay all the medical expenses. That is when I called Lewis & McAtee, P.C., for help. Jon and Robert came to my home for our initial meeting. When I heard he was willing to drive to Jasper for our meeting, I decided he was the lawyer for me. They were so friendly and really cared about my situation. Both Jon and his dad help me reach a settlement with the gentleman¹s insurance company. I am very pleased with his services, and would definitely use Lewis & McAtee, P.C. again. I would not use anyone else. Jennifer Nicole Walker I was involved in a lemon law case with my Ford. I had numerous, persistent transmission problems which Ford was unable to repair. Jon Lewis of Lewis & McAtee, P.C., handled the case for me. I found them on an internet search engine. Jon handled the case through a dispute settlement board and even continued the process when they did not want to pay the attorney fees. I got a new car in the settlement, and I am very pleased. I am a very detail-oriented person and Jon and his staff kept me well informed and answered all my questions. If I could not speak with Jon immediately, he was always very quick to return my call. I was very happy with the services of Lewis & McAtee, P.C., and would use them again and also would recommend them to others. Tara Rattler Another dog attacked my dog and the owner refused to pay the costly vet bills. Given my association as a working team member for the Hand-in-Paw organization, they referred me to Stuart McAtee of Lewis & McAtee, P.C. Hand-in-Paw knew of the firm because a portion of their legal fees is contributed to the Hand-in-Paw organization. Satisfaction for the vet bills was obtained without having to make a court appearance, which is something I am extremely grateful for. I am most appreciative of Stuart McAtee’s understanding that justice in this case was vitally important to me. There are not many attorneys who would have taken a case such as mine due to the fact that only animals were involved. The attorneys and staff of Lewis & McAtee, P.C. are extremely compassionate, and I have a great deal of respect for their firm. Susie Margotta A 16 year old was coming from a private road at a very high speed and hit us. Our truck was totaled, and Larry injured his back. We experienced some great financial hardship because Larry owns a brick masonry business, and he had to pay people to work instead of bringing home the money himself. A neighbor told us about Lewis & McAtee, P.C., and we spoke to Stuart McAtee. Stuart was great to work with. He kept us informed, moved the case along and reached a settlement much faster than we anticipated; he was very courteous and respectful. We would definitely use them again, and would absolutely recommend them to anyone needing legal assistance. Larry and Laurice Scott I was driving a logging truck when a lady, who never stopped, ran me off the road. The truck flipped, and I was in the hospital for over a week. I found Lewis & McAtee, P.C., on television through a help-line. I talked with Robert Lewis and then with his son, Jon. I presented my case, and both men agreed to help me. I was kept well-informed as the case progressed and received a great settlement. I would highly recommend the firm of Lewis & McAtee, P.C., to anyone needing legal help. They are just “good people!” In fact, they are handling another case for me right now. Thomas Hammack I am a postal worker and was attacked by two great danes. My injuries required stitches in my head, breast, arm and side. It was a very terrifying experience, and I genuinely feel that I will be traumatized for the rest of my life. An acquaintance referred me to Lewis & McAtee, P.C. Jon Lewis agreed to take my case. He constantly kept me informed, and was very honest about what I could expect in a settlement. However, I was extremely satisfied with our settlement, and I would be happy to recommend Lewis & McAtee, P.C., to others. Lavena Archer I felt very comfortable with Jon Lewis and trusted he had my best interest at heart. I am extremely glad I found their website and had the opportunity to speak with him. I believe I could not have found anyone better. I would be pleased to give Jon’s name to anybody in need of legal services. Timothy Donahue I purchased a new truck for my son from Ivan Chevrolet in Hoover, Alabama. Soon, the truck had mechanical problems, and the dealer continually said it “just had problems.” At this point, we had already purchased a replacement vehicle and realized we were stuck with a truck that could not be repaired. I found Lewis & McAtee, P.C. online while researching Alabama’s lemon law. Jon Lewis agreed to handle our case. He sent a letter to GMAC, and they responded quickly with a resolution. The entire process took only a few weeks, and I was kept well informed throughout. I was very impressed with his secretary who was very helpful. We would highly recommend the firm of Lewis & McAtee, P.C. to anyone needing legal assistance. Sandra Wood These recoveries are not an indication of future results. Every case is different, and regardless of what friends, family, or other individuals may say about what a case is worth, each case must be evaluated on its own facts and circumstances as they apply to the law. The valuation of a case depends on the facts, the injuries, the jurisdiction, the venue, the witnesses, the parties, and the testimony, among other factors. Furthermore, no representation is made that the quality of the legal services to be performed is greater than the quality of legal services performed by other lawyers. |
